Oil-containing bearing capable of automatically supplementing lubricating oil and supplementing method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of bearings, in particular to an oil-retaining bearing capable of automatically supplementing lubricating oil and a supplementing method.
Background
The oil-impregnated bearing, i.e., the porous bearing, is a sintered body produced by a powder metallurgy method. The lubricating oil is contained in a plurality of pores distributed in the bearing, and in the using process, the shaft passing through the center of the bearing rubs against the bearing to generate heat so as to reduce the pores in the bearing, so that the lubricating oil stored in the pores is extruded out and the contact surface between the shaft and the bearing is lubricated. Thereby achieving the purpose of lubricating the bearing without adding lubricant in the using process.
Due to the porous characteristic of the oil-retaining bearing, the interior of the oil-retaining bearing is impregnated with lubricating oil with the volume ratio of about 10-40%. The bearing is used for a long time, and lubricating oil can be evaporated, thrown away and leaked. When the lubricating oil loss is used up, a lubricating oil film between the bearing and the shaft cannot be formed, direct friction is generated, noise is generated, and the service life of the bearing is influenced.
The conventional oil-retaining bearing needs external oil supplement when in oil shortage, needs to be disassembled or not to be disassembled for oil supplement, and equipment needs to be stopped to produce and supplement oil regularly, so that the normal work of the equipment is influenced, and the benefit of an enterprise is further influenced.

The invention aims to solve the problems and provides an oil-containing bearing capable of automatically supplementing lubricating oil and a supplementing method.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
an oil-retaining bearing capable of automatically supplementing lubricating oil comprises a bearing, wherein a plurality of groove holes are formed in the outer wall of the bearing, at least one oil storage part is arranged in each groove hole, and the oil storage parts release the lubricating oil at different time;
the outward opening of the groove cavity is completely wrapped by the bearing sleeve.
The groove depth of the groove cavity is not greater than 2/3 of the wall thickness of the bearing. The lubricating oil can be stored more and supplied under the condition of not influencing the strength of the bearing.
The oil storage piece comprises a degradable outer film, and lubricating oil is wrapped in the outer film.
The outer membrane is made of engineering plastics, and the degradability of the outer membranes of the oil storage pieces at different positions is different. The outer film can crack at different time due to different degradability, so that the lubricating oil wrapped inside flows out to supply the lubricating oil for the bearing.
The outer membrane of the oil storage piece is in a ball shape or a capsule shape. Under limited conditions, the aim is to store as much of the lubricating oil as possible for replenishment.
The lubricating oil replenishing method for the oil-retaining bearing adopting the self-replenishing lubricating oil comprises the following steps: as the using time of the oil-retaining bearing increases, lubricating oil of the oil-retaining bearing is lost;
the oil storage parts with different degradability of the outer film can be aged, cracked and degraded at different time, and lubricating oil wrapped in the outer film can be released at different time to supplement lubricating oil for the bearing.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
the degradation time of the outer film is different, the outer film can crack at different time to release the stored lubricating oil so as to achieve the purpose of continuously supplementing the oil, the lubricating oil can be supplemented before the oil is deficient of the bearing or even before the oil is deficient, and the service life of the oil-containing bearing can be effectively prolonged. According to the material proportion and the size of the appearance of the oil-retaining bearing, the service life of the bearing can be effectively prolonged to 2-4 times of the original service life.
The oil storage piece has a simple structure, does not have a complex mechanical structure, can realize the purpose of continuously supplementing oil by depending on different degradability of the outer membrane, and is easier for mass production.
The bearing placed in the oil storage part is protected by the bearing sleeve, and the bearing sleeve completely wraps the groove of the oil storage part, so that the mechanical clamping fault caused by the fact that substances after the outer membrane of the oil storage part is cracked and degraded enter the bearing hole is avoided.

Detailed Description
The invention is further described with reference to the following figures and examples.
As shown in fig. 1-3, an oil-retaining bearing for automatically supplementing lubricating oil comprises a bearing 2, a plurality of groove cavities 1 are arranged on the outer wall of the bearing 2, oil storage members 4 are arranged in the groove cavities 1, and the oil storage members 4 release lubricating oil at different times;
the outward opening of the groove cavity is completely wrapped by the bearing sleeve 3. The number of the groove cavities 1 is not limited under the condition of not influencing the strength of the bearing. The groove depth of the groove cavity is not greater than 2/3 of the wall thickness of the bearing. The lubricating oil can be stored more and supplied under the condition of not influencing the strength of the bearing. The oil storage pieces with different quantities and different degradation times can be respectively put into the groove holes, so that the aim of continuously supplementing oil is fulfilled.
As shown in fig. 4, the oil reservoir comprises a degradable outer membrane 6, which outer membrane 6 encloses a lubricating oil 5. The outer membrane of the oil storage piece is in a ball shape or a capsule shape. Under limited conditions, the aim is to store as much of the lubricating oil as possible for replenishment. The shape of the oil storage part provided in the embodiment is a pill shape, which can be called as an oil pill, the outer membrane is made of engineering plastics, and the degradability of the outer membranes of the oil storage parts at different positions is different. The outer film can crack at different time due to different degradability, so that the lubricating oil wrapped inside flows out to supply the lubricating oil for the bearing.
The bearing placed in the oil storage part is protected by the bearing sleeve, and the bearing sleeve is used for completely wrapping the groove cavity of the oil storage part, so that the phenomenon that a wrapping substance matrix after the oil storage part is cracked and degraded enters the bearing hole to cause a mechanical locking fault is avoided.
The oil pill has various preparation processes, and can adopt a pill dropping process, and the pill dropping process is similar to the conventional pill dropping production process; liquid filling processes may also be employed. Regardless of the process method, the surface wrapping matrix of the oil pill is engineering plastic, and is added with the additive for promoting degradation or the antioxidant, according to the addition type or quantity of the additive for promoting degradation and the type and quantity of the antioxidant, the surface wrapping matrix of the oil pill is cracked after different time, so that the lubricating oil flows out, and the purpose of continuously supplementing the oil can be achieved.
